Longevitology uses the human body to receive energy from the universe. Students attend classes and have their Chakras opened. They then improve their health by sitting quietly (meditation) and making adjustment (healing). They can also use longevitology to improve the health of others.
Longevitology is simple yet quickly effective. PRACTICE AND ADJUSTMENT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME AND ANY PLACE. From sitting quietly to quieting the heart (mind), and from receiving to directing energy, NO THOUGHTS ARE NECESSARY. It does not required complicated body positions. The body acquires the energy needed naturally, without compelling. Therefore. THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS. The body combines with the universe in a natural, relaxed manner to allow the development of our potential energy.
When universal energy enters our body, it energizes every cell. enabling every organ to function normally. "Chi" and blood flow smoothly and good health is achieved. From the oriental medicine perspective, "illnesses" mostly derive from the maladjustment of "chi" and blood. This is similar to the occidental medical approach of using metabolism and circulation to discuss health. Other causes of diseases are germs and viruses. These diseases will disappear naturally following the active flow of "chi" and blood, the improvement of metabolism and circulation, the increase of antibodies- and the enhancement of the immune system in the body. THE TOXINS OF DISEASE ARE EXPELLED BY THE METABOLIC SYSTEM OF THE BODY ITSELF: therefore, the person making the adjustment (healing), and the person receiving the adjustment will not contract each other's disease. This is the reason that "Longevitology" can help both oneself and others.
When �illness� is considered from another angle, its causes can be attributed to three major categories: the �body�, the �heart�, and the �spirit�. The perspective that the elevation of the body, heart, and spirit, achieves good health is explained briefly as follows:
First, let us talk about the BODY. We know that our age, posture, eating habits, living environment, occupation, habits, etc., all affect our health. If these external factors are the only causes of ailments, then the body condition can be Improved within a short period by correctly identifying these causes, and diligently making adjustments to activate "chi" and blood.
Now, let us discuss the "HEART" (mind). Psychology is an important factor that affects health. Our thoughts and feelings create emotions, desires, greed, attachments, etc., (A Chinese proverb classifies these feeling into seven emotions and six desires) and give rise to negative factors such as worry, anxiety, anguish, depression, fear, pursuits, dissatisfaction, grudges, hatred, and jealousy. These negative factors cause maladjustments in the endocrine system, which influence hormone secretions, thus affect the body.
In aggregate, these internal and external factors are planted in one's heart unconsciously and appear in numerous forms when one conducts meditative exercises. In fact. these "thoughts" arc concerns in one's heart (mind). Since these "thoughts" affect one psychologically, they must affect one physiologically. Therefore, REMOVING DISTURBING THOUGHTS MEANS REMOVING THE HIDDEN CAUSES AND ROOTS OF AILMENTS.
Thus. when we sit quietly (do our "exercise"!, our brain has an opportunity to rest. Our minds become lucid, and are capable of differentiations right from wrong. At this moment, we can examine our disturbing thoughts with the wisdom that arises. We can review the folly and the errors of the past. the present, and the future so that more of these hindrances and attachments can be released. A Chinese proverb says "IMAGES ARE MANIFESTED BY MATERIAL THINGS, THE HEART IS MANIFESTED BY EVENTS". Therefore, to remove disturbing thoughts [one cause of ailment), is TO ERASE NEGATIVITY FROM THE HEART THROUGH SELF-EXAMINATION, so that more attachments (causes of ailment) can be dropped from our mind to achieve psychological health, in this light. Longevitology is a "kung-fu" of learning how to "let go".
Finally, although few people suffer from illness of a SPIRITUAL origin, let us talk about this cause of illness- For our discussion, spiritual illnesses include many medically untreatable ailments, which are generally attributed to "cause and effect", karma, and entity attachment. The philosophy of Longevitology is that these causes can also be helped through adjustments. In the process of receiving energy. the person being adjusted, through self-review, understands and repents what is owed in the past, and promises to compensate the wronged party by remorse and by action. While channeling the energy, the adjuster can infuse both sides with reason and sound knowledge, so that they may dissolve their grudges and hatred. and genuinely forgive each other. Only through FORGIVENESS, LETTING GO, REPENTANCE, AND GOOD DEEDS, IS LIFE'S WINDING AND BUMPY PATH SUFFICIENTLY SMOOTHED OUT. (The senior class will feature more in-depth discussions of spiritual causes of illness and ways to correct them.)
From the experience of teaching Longevitology. it has been found that any causes of illness, be it from the body. the heart, or the spirit, can be corrected if practitioners hold compassionate hearts and sympathy to others, and extend both hands to help. A proverb says, "BENEVOLENT WISHES ARE ALWAYS GRANTED BY HEAVEN; KIND THOUGHTS ARE ALWAYS BLESSED BY HEAVEN".
Longevitology is a practice (kung-fu) that involves the body. the heart, and the spirit. It was originated from Dr. Lin Tse-Hung, a medical practitioner in Los Angeles, California. Upon being exposed to some energy medicine, Dr. Lin recommended and encouraged Teacher Lin Tse-Chen to participate- Teacher Lin refined it with actual clinical experience, freed it of unnecessary attachments, and added new concepts, theories, and methods, thus creating a new path in the modern day search for physical, mental, and spiritual health � LONGEVITOLOGY. |
